FD60 fire doors in Maghull

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Maghull

We provide FD60 fire doors in Maghull (L31 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

In and around Maghull, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

FD60 openings in Maghull buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Maghull building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer.

What do you hand over at the end?

For every FD60 opening we record the product and certificate reference, the gap measurements, the hinge and closer specification, how the frame was fixed and what was used to seal the frame-to-structure gap, with photographs before the architraves go on. That record is what your fire risk assessor or building control officer will ask for.

As standard, the work covers:

• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
